A magnitude-6.5 earthquake shook eastern Japan off the quake-ravaged coast Sunday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, prompting Japan to issue a tsunami alert.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, but the Japan Meteorological Agency announced that a tsunami of up to 1.6 feet may wash into Miyagi Prefecture.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has not issued a tsunami for Hawaii.
A magnitude-9 quake off Japan’s northeast coast on March 11 triggered a tsunami that barreled onshore.
About 18,000 people are thought to have been killed.
